Bolens QT17 brought back to life.

Originally this was to be a quick "revival" of a friends tractor. However it ended up taking so long to get it fixed up that I just gave it back to him and called it a Christmas present. It hadn't run in at least 10 years probably longer, he bought it as a non-runner. History unknown but it has a lot of hours on it. Now this thing is built like a brick..... well you know. The kohler engine had more mouse nests in it than i have ever seen. New parts include a fuel pump, coil, points, and a couple other things. This tractor fought all the way but is now a great running and mowing machine. This was my first experience with a Bolens and they are very well built, if you see one in a junk pile grab it.

Really nice. Way better than pushing

Right! It was a gift for my neighbor, heavy built machine!

I just picked up a QT17 last Saturday to add to my Bolens fleet. I'm in the process of getting it going right now. Check my channel to see the videos I've uploaded on it.

Will do! I gotta say that the qt17 is one of the most overbuilt garden tractors that I have ever come across, damn good machines

Indeed it is!
